This is complicated for me, because if I could do it all over again, I would do a completely different major. I didn't know what I wanted to do in life, so I just picked one - psychology. It was okay, but I knew I didn't want to be a psychologist. I don't know why I was in such a rush to graduate that I didn't change my major (well, except that I wouldn't have gotten financial help from my parents past the standard 4 years). My lazy choice in major led me to being unprepared for anything after college, so I went to graduate school for something that I thought I wanted to do but at which I was only of middling success. I now work in a different field.

But I also think that my meandering, "sure, this'll work for now" attitude led me to so much that I value in my life. I *do* like my job a lot, which is a lucky thing for most people, even when they work in the field they aspired to. I also met some of my best friends in graduate school. And I never would have found my dog if I hadn't been in the town where I went to grad school either. A lot of those things and people rippled out and changed my life in other, mostly very good ways. And I like my life in general. So while I should have done something else, maybe it's all for the best.

Although I did have a government teacher that was a real jerk, taught us very little, and looked like someone had attacked his hair with hedge clippers. He would brag to us about how secret police kept following him in some country (I want to say Afghanistan? this was before the war) because while *he* wasn't a political agitator, he had friends who were. He was truly insufferable.

I also took orchestra for non-music-majors and had a conductor that was pretty uninspiring. He was a brass player, so 90% of the pieces he picked for us had really terrific brass/wind lines, and absolute shit for the strings. (I'm looking at you, John Williams.) I would still take it again, because I enjoyed still playing after high school, even though I was never super serious about it. But it could get a little frustrating when the trumpets got to play all the melodies while the strings sawed away at sixteenth notes for 3 pages.
